“Gen
2:21 And Jehovah Elohim caused a
deep sleep to fall upon Man; and he slept. And he took one of his ribs and
closed up flesh in its stead. Gen 2:22 And Jehovah Elohim built the rib that he had
taken from Man into a woman; and brought her to Man. Gen
2:23 And Man said, This time it
is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh:
this shall be called Woman, because
this was taken out of a man.” Adam was the first prophet that the earth
experienced. Indeed, God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His
servants the prophets (Amos 3: 7). Now we see how God revealed in Adam the
things concerning Christ and that would be manifested at least four thousand
years later.
Paul describes in his first
Epistle to the Corinthians two Adams: the first Adam and the last Adam, an animal
Adam and a spiritual Adam, an Adam from the earth and an Adam from heaven (1
Cor 15: 40-50). Later in his writings, he still teaches that the Old Testament
was a shadow of things to come, the body (reality) is in Christ (Col 2:17).
Hence, the first Adam himself was the shadow of the second Adam, the real man
who subdues the earth and has dominion over the beasts of the field and the
birds of the sky, as the first man has failed thereto. Thus, the account of
Adam and Eve was a prophecy about Christ and his Church, and Paul confirms: “Eph 5:31
Because of this a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be
united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh. Eph
5:32 This mystery is great,
but *I* speak as to Christ, and as to the assembly.”
"This is a great
mystery," but let us try to penetrate it by examining the account and
other biblical passages thereto related. First the account tells us that the
man was the achievement of a thought and a resolution of the sovereign God.
Then, it is not the man who expressed the need for help, but God himself found
out in his omniwisdom. God brings all the animals he has formed out of the dust
of the earth before the man to see his creation: man just gives them names, but
among them there is none that is worthy to be his help, in other words none is his
like. Now, none of these animals, although made of the same dust of the earth as Adam, could resemble
him for one simple reason that they were not taken out of him. Resemblance is
governed by the law of the seed identity.
On this subject we read notably
“Gen 1:11
And God said, Let the earth cause grass to spring up, herb producing
seed, fruit-trees yielding fruit after their kind, the seed of which
is in them, on the earth. And it was so. Gen 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, herb
producing seed after its kind, and trees yielding fruit, the seed of
which is in them, after their kind. And God saw that it was good.” “Gen 5:3 And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and
begot a son in his likeness, after
his image, and called his name Seth.” Only the seed of Christ
who is the Word and the Son of God can produce other sons and daughters of God of
the Word nature. In this century and forth ward until hell Catholic
seed will produce only Catholic in the likeness and after the image of Catholicism
and nothing more, it is the immutable law of the reproduction of species. This
obviously applies to all other kinds of seed: Baptist, Lutheran, Pentecostal, Methodist,
Adventist, branhamist, etc. ; you can never expect for example that a branhamist
seed produce a single day a son or daughter of God, but it will ever produce
branhamists.
When God wanted to make a
helper fit for Adam, Adam was at that time not able to reproduce himself from
his own seed in his likeness and after his image because he had not yet
partner. God himself then intervened to pull a rib out of man of which he formed
a "woman" or "female man". In other words, the woman (Isha)
is another Adam from the same seed, only of female sex. It was then that the
man could say "she shall be called Woman (Isha = female man),
because she was taken out of man (Ish = man)." Now, on the cross of
Calvary it was after having plunged the last Adam into a deep sleep (when
Christ had already passed away) that God had his side pierced so he pulled out blood
and water (Jn 19: 31-37) and with this blood and this water out of Christ God
himself, not the apostles or any other minister or commissioner, formed a bride,
the body of Christ. He says “Mat 16:18 And *I* also, I say unto thee that *thou* art
Peter, and on this rock I (not anyone else) will build my assembly, and hades' gates shall
not prevail against it.” The
churches of men are built by men themselves through their own efforts, tricks
and strategies. But the Bride Church of Christ is built by God himself. Thereupon
we are told in the book of Acts (2: 47) that the Lord himself,
not a minister, added to the church daily such as should be saved.
All this being said, we
understand why when the Lord was on earth, many religious organizations paraded
before him, and he identified them all some as Pharisees, some as Sadducees, some
as zealot, some as Essene, etc., without finding any one among them that resembles
him and that deserves to be his wife, even though each of them, as the Son of
Man, believed in the law of Moses. None of these organizations was of his seed:
he was from above, they were from beneath, he was the pure Word of God, they
were men’s particular interpretations of the Word. They could say, "we
have the same identity because we, as you, are children of Abraham," like gorillas,
chimpanzees and others could also tell Adam " as you, we were all taken
from the dust! " Adam could then answer
them, "True, but you are gorilla, you are chimpanzee, etc., and I am man."
Similarly, the Lord answered these religious organizations “Joh 8:23
Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of
this world.”
At the end of time, when the
husband comes to take the bride to crown her queen in his palace, all these
churches file on before him, each of them with the same false assurances
"we are all Christians, we believe all in the same Lord, "as the
gorillas and the chimpanzees who claimed to share the identity of man because
they all, as him, came from the dust; as these Jewish organizations which
claimed to share the identity of Christ because they all believed in Moses and were
sons of Abraham. The reaction is the same: Adam gave them names: you are hippo,
you are rhino, you are hyena, etc., but I do not find myself in any of you all
to be a help in my likeness! The Bridegroom likewise answers them, you are
Catholic, you are Lutheran, you are Pentecostal, you are branhamist, etc., and
I'm none of all that. All these things are from beneath, I am from above.
The Bride-Word has gone out of
the Bridegroom-Word, not from interpretations, they are perfectly the same
identity, from the same seed: the unchanging Word of God, the same yesterday,
today and forever. At the end of time, when the Bridegroom comes, the
Word-Bride is perfect, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing (Eph 5: 27).
In other words, it is the Word in its pure state: no mixing with human thought.
Here is what the Bridegroom himself says of the Bride “Son 4:7
Thou art all fair, my love; And there is no spot in thee.” She is such that it is God himself that has
shaped her, there has been no man’s touch on her. She is the same blood as the
Bridegroom and the same seed so he calls her his sister, “Son 4:9
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my
spouse; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of
thy neck.” There is only one way to be bone
of his bone and flesh of his flesh, it is to be born of the same Word, not of
religious interpretations.
The Bridegroom makes a more
striking statement in the Song of Solomon, “Son
6:8 There are threescore
queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number: Son 6:9 My
dove, mine undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother, She is the
choice one of her that bore her. The daughters saw her, and they called her
blessed; The queens and the concubines, and they praised her.” Perfection does not even belong to all
virgins, let alone concubines and queens, especially not to prostitutes; but
only to the Shulamite. She is the only one of her mother; she does not look
like her sisters. God saw Isaac as the only son of Abraham, even though Abraham
had several sons, because from the perspective of faith only Isaac was in the
image and likeness of his father.
In this passage from the Song
of Solomon as well "only one" does not mean "alone" or
"exclusive", but only involves unique traits or features that you
could not find in the other girls of the same mother. Indeed, where is the
Bride of the Lamb coming from? - Babylon (ES52: 11, Jer 50: 8, 51: 6, 1Co6: 17,
Rev 18: 4). And we know by the scriptures that Babylon the Great is the mother
of all prostitutes of the earth. But the Shulamite and other virgins that came
out with her of Babylon did not play the whore with the kings of the earth as
did all their sisters. All Christian churches have been born of the Universal Roman
Catholic Church, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT. They are all prostitutes. But
those who have heard the call to come out of this confusion to be sanctified by
the Word of Truth, the same are virgins.
But all these virgins are not
wise, only the Shulamite recognizes the importance of being strict and rigorous
on the purity of the Word in his own wording as spoken by God himself. She,
even she alone, comes to perfection: in her is found exclusively the Word in
its pure state, she is perfect as her Groom is perfect; she truly is Word of
God's Word and Spirit of God’s Spirit, for she cannot put up with anything
outside the holy bible scriptures. Now, about this Sulamite, this little Bride
Church ignored, neglected and despised by the world but beloved by Christ, the
Bridegroom said, "This time, it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she
shall be called woman (Isha), because she was taken out of man (Ish) "
"This time..."
because several other times failed to produce the expected result. This Shulamite
was pulled out of Christ’s side who was pierced, and God himself has shaped her. A poet wrote "On Christ
the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand." One can be satisfied
to be Catholic, Methodist, charismatic, etc., but one who is wise and strives
for perfection rather seeks to ensure that he stands on the solid and eternal
rock which is Christ the unaltered Word of God, the Bible in a strict and absolute
manner.
If you feel
blessed, share and pour out the same blessings!
